About the Product
Topirol 25 Tablet is a medication used for the treatment of epilepsy (seizures), as well as the prevention of migraines. It is also prescribed for Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy that typically begins in childhood. By controlling seizures and reducing migraine frequency, Topirol helps improve overall quality of life for those affected by these conditions.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredient
- Topiramate (25mg)
How to Use
Topirol 25 Tablet should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take the medicine at the same time each day for consistency. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water—do not chew, crush, or break it. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Continue taking the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if you start feeling better. Never stop taking the medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this could increase the risk of seizures.

How It Works
Topirol 25 Tablet is an antiepileptic medication. It helps control seizures by reducing abnormal and excessive activity of nerve cells in the brain. Although the exact mechanism for preventing migraines is not fully understood, it is believed that Topirol works by modifying the activity of specific areas in the brain involved in migraines.
